who makes the brightest no error LED bulbs for license plate?
i have LED bulbs for my w203, but i just don't believe they're bright enough. i do not want to change the housing, just the LED's. i want to know which ones you guys think are the brightest. thanks in advance.

If you're willing to fork out $40+ for a set, there are some super bright 18 smd led lights that you could get off ebay.

You should probably edit out your number... Unless you enjoy getting spam on your cell phone.

I bought some of these. I couldn't believe how well they were made or how bright they are for only having 2 bulbs. Best $11 I've spent in a while Sorry for the iPhone pic

Pictures can be deceiving, although they do look pretty bright. Are they at all homosexual/blue looking? I'm concerned about their claimed 10,000K light output - I like to stay below 6,000K for minimal homosexuality/blueness. They do look fairly white in your pic, though.

No they are nowhere close to the 10,000k more like a 5000k. I was worried they would be too blue/purple like his pic, but they are white

Nice. I will order these and save myself $30 (instead of buying them from a forum vendor).

I don't think anyone sells the bulb alone, it's the entire fixture.
